Sometimes I live and work on Luxury Mega Yachts, sometimes I get dirty and salty working on Schooners. Spent last few years flip flopping between Key West, St. Thomas, Australia and New England. This blog is just my random ramblings and everyday occurrences. Island life at it's best...and worst!

I just got back from my interview over at Sportable Crew! Suzanne was so sincere and nice and really asked me some good questions. Very specific questions. Then asked how comfortable I was with spanish. Hmmm.... I am very comfortable around spanish speaking people, most of my best friends in the past have been Mexican and their families have taken me in as their little white girl. I love it. Good food. Anyways, back on the subject, Suzanne thinks she has a boat for me. She is pitching me to the Captain tonight and I should know something tomorrow! Fingers crossed! No, wait, we have to start crossing something else because the fingers aren't working! Anyway, if it works out I will be flying to St. Martin by the end of the week. OMG PLEASE!!!!!!!

Not much else to say as I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

Oh hell I'm just gonna tell ya the info anyway... I have nothing else to do!The boat does winter in the Carib. and Summer in the Med. 88 feet long. One stew. deck, chef, engineer and Capt. Thats all I really know. Except for the other stuff that I don't feel like typing because I have really bad cramps and I just wanna throw up.

They need someone by Christmas day because that's when the family comes to the boat. Obviously I would need to be there before then so time is of the essence. Everyone on board is Mexican and South American. I would be the only American. But, she says everyone speaks english but I bet you a thousand bucks they don't speak it if they don't have to. So basically I should be brushing up on my Spanish. I understand most everything but I just need to work on my speaking. But I told her I wouldn't feel uncomfortable in that situation. I won't.

Personal assistant day in progress! Already got all the stuff moved around so the carpet guys can do their thing, now I have to go to the bank to deposit some money and then pay some bills for Courtney and call some of her clients to schedule some work outs! Woo hoo! I feel productive and she really did have too much on her plate this week. I am happy to help.

Woah! I forgot how completely INSANE South Floridians are. Two beheadings on the news this morning!!! One was a goose that lived on a golf course and the other was an 8 year old boy! And... a 4 year old broke into a convenience store. Not kidding.

I has a friend....This is Tiki. He is my buddy. I am also dog sitting and dog walking today. The other dog is a big dog named Dania. She is a bit shy but I will try to get a picture of her today.Got one!

I fell asleep too early. I just woke up and I am red like a lobster. Which makes it uncomfortable to sleep. That ten mins in the tanning bed really kicked my ass. The parts of me that got sun in the islands didn't burn, just got tan but the parts that NEVER see the sun... well that's the problem. I would show you my burnt ass but that's inappropriate. I will get back to sleep but I feel like blogging a bit first. Tomorrow is a crazy day.

After I blogged last night I was lying in bed and Courtney came in to my room and said she had a favor to ask. She wanted to know if I would run some errands and pay some bills for her tomorrow while she is at work. I said sure. She had a list all made out and left me her credit cards and stuff to get everything taken care of. She is really busy now that she inherited 7 clients from a trainer that quit over the weekend. Basically I am her personal assistant tomorrow, and she's gonna pay me to do it! Cool huh? I do need the money. Also, the carpet guys are coming to replace the carpet upstairs and someone has to be here when they come and I am the only one who doesn't work around here so that is on my list too. And I am gonna start cleaning. That's only the morning agenda. In the afternoon I have the interview with Sportable Crew that I am really looking forward to. The guy I spoke to on the phone was really nice and said that Suzanne, the owner of the company, was really awesome, and that if I needed a ride someone at the agency could pick me up if I didn't have transportation. Nice huh?
